Tour de France: Where Have the Winners Come From? is an interactive map showing the habitation countries of all the winners of the Tour de France. Using the map you lot tin sentiment the geographical spread of all the Tour winners since 1903.
I constitute the results a petty surprising. Having grown-up during the catamenia when Lance Armstong seemed to dominate the race close every yr (his wins are evidently directly expunged from the records) I was expecting the race winners to hold upwards a fleck to a greater extent than global. However apart from the American Greg LeMond (winner 1986) all the winners of the race bring been born inward Europe.
French Republic dominates the map, although Kingdom of Belgium seems to create a disproportionate pose out of bang-up cyclists. Another surprise to me was that the bang-up cycling friendly province of the Netherlands has exclusively produced 2 winners of the Tour de France.
The map itself was created amongst the underused jVectorMap library.
